Replaced the rubber handle on an old SOG, with stabilized and dyed birdseye.

Check the Knifemakers Gallery ,'Camp Knife' .That was listed as 'quilted maple' and there is birdseye, burl,and tiger maple. For knives I like it stabilized. Birdseye can tend to pop the eyes when you work it.Maple is my favorite ,though without any stain.
